Sometimes when parked on a hill after starting, engine cold, when I try to reverse the engine just revs quite high but hardly moves. This is if I try to move immediately after starting. If I wait a little bit it's OK.
Any ideas, should I be worried ?
Cheers

Mine is exactly the same, my driveway is on a slope that I need to reverse off to get on to the road. I’m guessing it’s to get the Catalytic Converter up to temperature asap.
Wait until it’s subzero and the rear brakes have stuck on and you need to free them. Top Tip let the engine idle settle at normal levels first or you’ll have your neighbours looking out of the window.

Let it warm up for a few minutes first and it won't do this as the engine settles down. You can start it remotely with the app.
